mercurial command to remove all ?s (new files not under version control)

I have a ton of ?s in my working copy that I want to delete. Is there an hg command to delete all files which aren't under version control (and aren't hgignored)?

There is an extension bundled with Mercurial called purge that can do this. Simply enable the extension by adding hgext.purge= to the [extensions] portion of your .hgrc or Mercurial.ini file, and then run hg purge.
